A comprehensive boilerplate for building and deploying web applications with Meteor, featuring testing, CI/CD, and environment management.
Pup is a production-ready boilerplate designed to accelerate the development of web applications. It provides a structured foundation with built-in tools for testing, deployment, and environment configuration, helping teams launch products faster and with best practices.
Development teams, particularly those using Meteor, who need a standardized, battle-tested starting point for web applications with integrated CI/CD and environment management.
Developers choose Pup for its 'convention over configuration' philosophy, which reduces setup time and enforces consistency across development, testing, and deployment phases with pre-configured infrastructure and automated workflows.
The Ultimate Boilerplate for Products.
Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Includes guided setup for DNS via DNSimple, database hosting on Compose, and SSL on Meteor Galaxy, reducing initial infrastructure decisions and deployment friction.
Comes with Jest for unit tests and TestCafe for end-to-end testing, plus automated test data seeding and watch modes, as outlined in the commands section.
Uses CircleCI for continuous integration and deployment to staging and production environments, with Git branching (master/staging) aligned to releases per the README.
Provides separate JSON settings files for development, staging, and production, ensuring secure management of secrets and API keys per environment.
Heavily relies on specific third-party services like DNSimple, Compose, and Meteor Galaxy, making it difficult to switch providers without significant reconfiguration, as admitted in the infrastructure section.
Designed exclusively for Meteor applications, offering no support for other JavaScript frameworks or full-stack solutions, limiting its versatility for diverse tech stacks.
As a pre-configured starter, teams must manually update dependencies and services over time, and the README points to external docs for advanced features, adding complexity.
